1.-THE MAIN LINE
s'The Main Line" clever romantic play
of western railroad life without blood and
thunder, was given last evening at Carll's
Opera House. The performance was in every
respect excellent. The characters in the play
without exception were all we'll taken and
| the scenic effects the best produced on the
| New Haven stage this season. The leading
part was taken by Miss Eta Hawkins, a
pretty young actress with winning ways and
decided talent for the character. Miss Stu
| art as ''the Little Prairie Flower" was clever
l and amusing Mr.. Allen as stPuddychump"
| was deservedly applauded. There is not a
poor actor in the company and the stage ar
| rangements were carried out without hitch.
| The scene representing train coming down
| a distant mountain was one of the best pieces
of stage setting ever seen in this city. It
was to be regretted that the audience was
not larger last night, but we have no hesita-
| ton in saying that the opera house will be
| filled at the performances to be given this
and to morrow evenings and Saturday after
| noon. A thoroughly good performance like
| this deserves a crowded house.
NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
Mr.. Daniel Snlly in his latest success
Daddy Nolan" drew quite a large audience
| at the New Haven Opera House last evening.
| The play is sequel to ''The Corner Gro
Gerry" and is the story of Daddy Nolan's re-
| ductien from aff1uence to poverty through
| the forgery of his name by his son, his trials
/ as poor junkman and the subsequent hap
piness of the whole family by the sons re-
| turn rich and able to restore them to their
former position and independence. The play
| has great deal of merit The plot is sia-
pie and quite natural and there is mixture
of wit and pathos which calls forth both
tears and laughter. The play was put upon
the stage in first class manner and received
| the applause it deserved. Mr.. Sully is max
ing an enviable reputation as an Irish come
dian. He is best in the more serious por-
tions of the play. Nothing could
Daddy Nolan" discovers that his
son has forged his name, makes known to
him the fact and sends him out into the
world to win back his good name. The sup
port was very good. Master Malvey as
"Jimmy Dolan," and Mile Arzula as Pat
| ty," deserved special mention, and so does
Little Alberta Keen for her very pretty act
| ing as ''Katie Nolan" At the end of the
| first act Mr.. Sully was called before the cur
| tain and presented with a magnificent horse
shoe of roses by the Brotherhood of Elks.
The play will be repeated this evening and
| to morrow afternoon. To morrow evening
